Used Volkswagen Golf Hatchback 13- Present

What's the used Volkswagen Golf like?

Very few cars have the classless appeal of the Volkswagen Golf, and with this seventh-generation model, VW managed to come up with a car that’s not only as multi-talented as its predecessors, but which improves on them significantly.

Then there’s the dashboard, built out of even more upmarket feeling materials than before, and laid out almost ideally, with all the major controls right where you need them to be.

To drive, the seventh-generation Golf is deeply impressive; comfortable and stable at any speed, yet also offering enough response from the chassis and sharpness from the steering to make it enjoyable.

What’s more, most versions come with more than enough equipment to satisfy the majority of used car buyers, and because of the Golf’s ubiquity, it’s easy to find an example that suits your wants and needs.

For all this, there is of course a price to pay – and the Golf is a little more expensive to buy than most of its contemporaries when compared like-for-like. What’s more, some rivals like the Skoda Octavia are even more spacious.

But the Golf still offers more than enough space for the average family – and when you take into account all that it offers, it starts to look like it’s worth every penny of its higher price.
